Duplicate profiles for 'Spike' Sullivan & Frederick Castor.

Post by alecan »

Frederick King Castor died as a result of head injuries sustained in his fight against 'Spike' Sullivan.

There has been a duplicate profile for Spike citing this as a KO over one Frankie Castor.

AS far as I can tell, Frankie Castor never existed, but I did find two reprints by The Jacksonville Journal and The Commercial, incorrectly stating 'Frederick's' name as 'Frank'. This is understandable considering the bout was held at the "Frankfort" A.C., and seems a likely mistake.

There are two different reports of what happened.

I made the correction, Apparently Sullivan was not the original Spike Sullivan, but a local fighter whose real name was William Clothier.
